They Kiss

12 min

A taut, witty battle of wills in a single room, funny but quietly infuriating as it needles industry double standards.

Overview
A queer writer/director pitches her film to a studio exec who keeps demanding her lesbian characters be sexier and less political, cycling through genre after genre — until she finally bargains for the one thing he won't allow: a real kiss.
How it feels
Satirical, tense, earnest and cynical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About
Sexuality, gender, media, power
Content
Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
